Hi folks,
   some month and a half back i had reas a sickening posting on 
nukaad  - -- it was an article written by a half-informed western 
correspondent who sang the same tunes as the many losers in 
india(u know who).
it was gloified and posted as if we have no brains to think for 
ourselves and a western correspondent's posting would be the final 
word.

i finally understood that shouting from rooftops is of no use when 
dealing with people of such slavish mentality who are wedded to 
the white skin (the "hail sonia" "m-teresa" kinds).
this posting is for them - - coz they wont listen to me they shall 
only listen to their white masters.
so here goes mr gautier the french man again.read on folks

Francois Gautier, who has lived in India for 30 years and is 
married to an
Indian,
is a French journalist, the correspondent in South Asia for Le 
Figaro,
France's largest
circulated newspaper. He has published Rewriting Indian History 
(Vikas)
and Arise O India (Har Anand).

Why do Indians have such an attraction towards white skin? I am 
a
White and a born Christian - but even after more than 30 years in 
India, this
attraction in its people still baffles me. I have looked in my 
mind for
answers.

When I see Mr Bill Gates coming to give charity to the poor and 
ignorant
Indians, who do not know how to handle sex and are on the way to 
becoming
the largest AIDS reservoir in the world, I wonder: Do Indians 
really
believe in what the White man says? Do they need a White man to 
tell them what
to do and what not to do? Actually the funny thing is that this 
AIDS scare
is an old trick of hostile NGOs, Christian organisations and the 
enemies of
India. It is true that AIDS is the scourge of the 21st century, 
the great black
plague of our era. But more is being made of it than is 
necessary,
especially in the Indian context.

World health organisations are fond of saying that India has the 
largest
population of HIV contaminated cases - some even speak about 25
millions by 2010. But as every one knows, AIDS spreads through 
three agents:
Homosexuality, hypodermic syringes of drug addicts and 
prostitutes. Yet,
whatever Deepa Mehta or Shabana Azmi would like us to believe,
homosexuality is not very common in India's villages, which 
comprise 80 per cent of the
population; one-sided homosexuality is a Western phenomenon and it 
is
brought to India by Westernised Indians.

As for hard drug addiction, again it is not all that common in 
Indian
villages, except in some of the North-East border states, many of 
which
incidentally happen to be Christian. The prostitutes carry the 
greatest
threat of spreading the disease, particularly in big cities like 
Mumbai.
Then in turn, those men who have contacted it will bring it to 
the
villages, when they have intercourse with their wives. But 25 
million AIDS cases?

Again, when I see the fascination that Indians - old and young, 
rich and
poor, whether from the Congress, the CPI or even the BJP - have 
for
Congress president Sonia Gandhi, I wonder: Does India, one of the 
great ancient
civilisations, need a White woman to govern it? I am sure she has 
great
qualities, but are Indians so backward that they cannot find 
amongst
themselves someone intelligent enough enough to lead them? And 
what about
this craze for Mother Teresa? She may have been a saint, but 
nobody has
harmed India's image in the West as much in the 20th century. When 
you
mention India in the West, their eyes light up and they say: 
"Mother
Teresa/ Calcutta/ poor people/ starving people/ who do not know 
how to care after
their own underprivileged/ who need a White woman to show them how 
to
pick-up those dying in the street and to look after orphans."

Is this the image that Indians needs today - one that is harming 
them,
which is stopping Western investors from investing in India? Yet 
Mother
Teresa is worshiped here, from Calcutta to Chennai, and when she 
will be made a
saint by the Vatican, perpetuating this colonial, superior-minded, 
Christian
symbol of White superiority over the Brown/Black man, the whole of 
Indian
media will rejoice in their own mental slavery and the Indian 
Government
will probably declare a national holiday!

Why don't Indians understand that Brown is beautiful? White people 
spend
hours in the beach and put a hundred cream and lotions to get 
tanned. Why
this obsession in Indian woman to have white skin? And why this 
growing
trend to colour their hair blonde? How come the two most popular
actors in India, Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, have very fair 
skins and blue
eyes? Why this craze about "fair" brides? If you find the answer 
to that,
you will understand the reason behind Indians' fatal attraction 
towards Mr Bill
Gates, Ms Sonia Gandhi and Mother Teresa.

Obviously, colonisation has frozen the Indian mind in certain 
patterns
and the British made sure, through Macaulay's policies of leaving 
behind
them an enduring complex of inferiority amongst Indians, by 
constantly harping on
the flaws of Indian culture and inflating them. This is why Indian 
intellectuals today
repeat what their masters said before: "Hindus are
fundamentalists/ Brahmins are exploiters/ Golwalkar was a Nazi/
Indians are corrupt and no good." But that does not explain 
everything: Most
colonised countries have aped their masters after having hated 
them. No, in my mind
the greatest factor behind India's love of the White is the absurd 
theory of Aryan invasion.

According to this theory, which was actually devised in the 18th 
and 19th
century by British linguists and archaeologists, the first 
inhabitants of
India were good-natured, peaceful, dark-skinned shepherds called 
the
Dravidians, who had founded what is now known as the Harappan or 
the
Indus Valley civilisation. They were supposedly remarkable 
builders: Witness
the city of Mohenjo-Daro in Sind. But they had no culture to speak 
of,
that is to say no literature, no proper script even. Then, around 
1500 BC,
India is said to have been invaded by tribes called the Aryans: 
white-skinned,
nomadic people, who originated somewhere in Western Russia and 
imposed
upon the Dravidians the hateful caste system. To the Aryans are 
attributed
Sanskrit, the Vedic-Hindu religion, India's greatest spiritual 
texts, the
Vedas, as well as a host of subsequent writings, like the 
Upanishads.

This was indeed a masterstroke on the part of the British: Thanks 
to the
Aryan invasion theory, they showed on the one hand that the 
Indian
civilisation was not that ancient and that it was secondary to 
the
cultures which influenced the Western world, and that whatever 
good things
India had developed had been as a result of the influence of the 
West. Thus,
Sanskrit, instead of being known as the mother of all 
Indo-European languages,
became just a branch of their huge family; thus, the religion of 
Zarathustra is
said to have influenced Hinduism, and not vice versa.

On the other hand, it divided India and pitted its people against 
each
other, rifts which still endure. Yet, most recent archaeological 
and
linguistic discoveries point out that there never was an Aryan
invasion and many historians, including Romila Thapar, are 
distancing themselves
 from it.  Yet, most Indians still believe in this absurd 
theory.

It is time for you Indians to wake up. You are as great, if not 
greater,
than the White man. You can do as well, if not better, than the 
White
man. Not only did your forefathers devise some of the basic 
principles of
mathematics, astrology, or surgical medicine, not only are your 
people
today amongst the most brilliant in the world - half of Silicon 
valley is of
people of Indian origin; 30 per cent of UK's doctors are Indians - 
but
you still hold within yourselves a unique spiritual knowledge, 
which once
roamed the world, but which has now disappeared, replaced by the 
intolerant
creed of the two major monotheistic religions, which say: "If you 
don't
believe in my true God, I will either kill you or convert you." 
Wake-up India.
Brown is beautiful, smart and it is the future.
